Part of an open-source project of mine: an offline aircraft radar (dump1090 on 1090 MHz) that you open from your phone's browser, no internet or feeder needed. The same box also does spectrum analysis, a radio and other decoders.

Hardware: Pi Zero 2 W + RTL-SDR. There's a demo mode with simulated aircraft if you want to see the UI first.

I am guessing the white plane is an AWACS supporting Trump’s visit to Atlanta today.

What are these doing? They just landed last night and now flying back to Moscow. Isn't that Russia's DD plane?

I've never seen a Chinook doing this in the middle of the English Channel before.

I saw this video and was curious where to find the tracks?

I've been getting into visualizing tracks and found adsb.lol very helpful, but 2022 is older than what they have. Maybe something regional because this was in the Irvine, CA area?

I appreciate your help! I'm new to the community and familiarizing myself with what's out there.

This would be very easy to integrate into your system. Use the arrow and +/- keys to zoom and pan.

Suggestions welcome!

I’ve never spotted a Predator surveilling the English Channel before

This is different spots between these aircraft’s, the Boeing was at the Nevada Security site (managed to get a Screenshot before it was “no callsign.” But the rotor sport is still active and it’s riding around across New Jersey.

Edit- I found the Boeing logs so here it is.

I built SkyTrace to experiment with browsing aircraft and airport information in one interface, rather than running an existing viewer. It’s free and needs no account.

For ADS-B users, I’d love feedback on the map controls and whether observed, estimated and missing data are clearly distinguished. Coverage depends on third-party feeds.

AI disclosure: I used Claude and Codex extensively for code, debugging and tests.

Found them both heading south after leaving Alaska today.

Air Force One making an appearance in Alaska today. POTUS was here for a rally in Wasilla. Tanker out doing laps, I’m assuming for the aircraft doing top cover.

I'm curious as to the reason for this sharp deviation of three consecutive commercial airliners near/around Portland. The sky is relatively clear, just some high hazy clouds, certainly nothing these planes would need to avoid.

I have a receiver using the FlightAware 1090 MHz antenna attached to an outside wall in my attic. I am using 12’ of RG58 Superbat cable to connect to the FlightAware Pro Stick Plus. This connects to Raspberry Pi 4 8gb. The Pro Stick and Pi are in a second floor office. The antenna is about 20’ above the ground in said attic. It is an asphalt shingled roof, with wood trusses. No metal or brick near the antenna. I am getting a solid 100NM coverage, with some encounters above 150NM. Would replacing the RG58 cable with a LMR400 or KMR400 cable increase my range substantially?

WOLF28 is currently doing touch and goes, along with another Navy P-8. I’ve never seen a Navy plane list an owner, much less something like “AAR Aircraft & Engine Sales $ Leasing INC”… what’s up with that?

I am using sdrangel and am wondering is there any way of logging aircraft you have tracked?
All I can see is an option to log received frames.

Not quite what I was expecting to see this morning 😳

Once again the skies never cease to amaze me.

Flightradar24 also confirms this flight to Pyongyang: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ra-64059

Registration: RA-64059

ICAO hex: 14FA3B

Callsign: RSD912

Aircraft: Tupolev Tu-204-300

Operator: Rossiya Special Flight Detachment

Aircraft category: Russian government/VIP transport

The older plane took off from Andrews and flew a holding pattern over southern PA/WV and the new one took off. Both are headed back towards DC.

I have my ADSB Exchange receiver kit up and running. My account is all set and I see it in my phone. How do I add FR24 and FlightAware so I can feed those sites as well. I’ve used Google and I see that I have to set up the SSH…. Sorry but have no clue. Is there a site or video that will give the step by step process?

I configured the displays - Tracker, Clock, and Weather in a way that takes advantage of the whole screen.

I made it match the aircraft altitude color gradient the same as on globe.adsbexchange.com.

I also made it show different icons for different size and type of aircraft - i.e. large or small or multi engine, etc.

I also added a weather cloud overlay (none shown in my examples because the sky was clear).

I added two more screens, a clock that I configured to look like a pilots watch, and a basic weather info screen.

And my favorite - I made the ability to scan for a specific Type, or Callsign, and once found, it will automatically select and track it, even if I change range scales.

Example for Callsign: I am located in Denver. I know UAL236 is leaving Boston and will land at, or fly past Denver, I can have it constantly searching for UAL236 even when it is far out of range and once it detects it, it will select and track it and also zoom the display out to it's max range which is a 100 mile radius. Once UAL236 is in that range, it will display and track it at all ranges.

Example for Type of aircraft: I can have it automatically search for the closest Helicopter (or any type) to my location then select it, track it through all range displays, and also display the info I want about it at the bottom of the map.
